just read the Tel-Tru post and looked them up.... being they are twice what I paid for the two of the mine together, I am assuming they will work a bit better!!!shipyardbecue wrote: anyone recommend a good thermometer?
Thanks! it works great! got a handle in for it saturday. have to put it on this week! also going to add a shelf or two!SoloQue wrote:I still like that sliding door design, not a single puff of smoke is coming from around that slide and she's at full bore cook it looks like. Very good craftsmanship!
thanks for the tip! I was thinking about some kinds of insulation and then an outer heat shield so people (mostly kids) dont get burnt! that bottom barrel gets hot!Rick wrote:You might play with a water heater blanket on the cook barrel to see if that helps with fuel consumption. Baffles over the pipes in the cook chamber should really help the temp variances you're seeing and I think you'll like the tel-tru guages - might mount them in the end wall about 2 inches above the grate for best reading so your slide door still works correctly and buy at least a 4 inch stem ... fwiw ...
Adding those dampers will slow your fuel consumption quite a bit. We used to run through 10 blue bags each cook. Through dampers and a few other mods we went through 2.5 at the last competition.shipyardbecue wrote:I am going to add dampers to the exhaust pipes and definitely have to burn logs in this thing.
